Overview

Property Details

Mary's by the Sea is located less than one block from downtown Rockport. We are directly across the street from Rockport's best attraction, Front Beach. Only two minutes to the train depot, grocery store and shopping in downtown.

Our property is next door to grassy and beautiful Millbrook Park. If you like to shore fish for Striped Bass or Blue Fish, it's only across the street. The harbor and charter fishing in Rockport is only two minutes away. Our convenience of location and beautiful surroundings is the best in Rockport. Walk to everything!

This was our first time using the HomeAway website and we were not disappointed! Pat & Mary were exceptional hosts!

We adored their Ocean View apartment! The best part was the home has ocean views from every window! Also Bearskin Neck was not even 5 minutes walking! Nate's next door was super yum for casual breakfast and lunch too! We also packed in a few pounds enjoying Tuck’s fudge and various sweets! We also fell in love with Art Longwood Books, we got some beautiful visual art books (one of Rockport) there! So many wonderful and beautiful places just a stroll away!

What a memorable trip! You do not need a car to stay here unless you have car trips planned! This couple out did themselves in terms of graciousness and hospitality. The apartment is equipped with everything – linens, pillows, dishware, spices, etc. The owners even have movies/books on site if you decide to cozy up and stay in. It is beautifully designed/constructed/finished and extremely well kept! The pictures on the website are beautiful, but the apartment is 1000X better than what is captured in the photos! The beach is right there! Imagine waking up and going to sleep to the sounds of the ocean…We were also pleasantly surprised that the beautiful, Shalin Liu Performance Center could be seen from the apartment and is a quick stroll away!

Lastly, the area in general was picturesque with friendly residents, attentive shopkeepers, continuous police patrols at all hours (if you have any safety concerns in this extremely safe area!) who waved to us on our late strolls, etc. This is truly a scenic listing that warms the heart and will stay in your vacation memories for a lifetime.

Our many thanks again to Pat & Mary! Thank you! We hope to come and stay in the near future! Enjoy your summer!

wonderful place to stay

4 of 5

Pat and Mary are very gracious hosts. The perfect combination of making you comfortable but leaving you alone. We stayed in the Deck ap't and loved having coffee every am on the deck. The location is perfect for walking to restaurants, catching the train to Boston or traveling to Maine for the day. The spaciousness of the apartment is perfect for two people or they have a larger and gorgeous ap't upstairs.

Picture perfect, memory perfect and just PERFECT!

Great accommodations in a beautiful location

5 of 5

My partner and I stayed in the Ocean View suite for a full week during our Massachusetts vacation. The owners are fantastic: very welcoming and eager to answer any questions you may have about things to do in the area. The suite itself is awesome: it is big, has all the amenities you can ask for and the ocean view is beautiful.

It is across the street from Front Beach, which is a nice little beach. Rockport is a beautiful and quiet town and we enjoyed walking around at night and shopping in the Bearskin area. Everything is walking distance from Mary's by the Sea: the beach, the cultural district with its stores and restaurants as well as the train station, in case you feel like taking the commuter train to spend a day in Boston like we did.

All in all, we had a great stay in Rockport and highly recommend Mary's by the Sea.

Great place and fantastic location!

We (my husband, me and our 3 yr old daughter) stayed at Mary's by the Sea (though we were on the first floor unit which is not pictured here) for three nights recently. This was the last stop of our New England coast trip and definitely our favorite! The place was very very clean, a good size, very well appointed, and the location was just perfect. We could just cross the street and plant our feet in the sand at Front Beach (or take the short drive to Good Harbor beach), we could hear and see the ocean from the nice big front porch, and we could easily stroll into town. Pat and Mary were very nice and helpful during our stay and we would love to come back again! Thank you!! Shirley, Jay and Ellie.
